The director of "Romance in the Wind and Moon" called the two actors to film a scene together.
Wen Yao stood up and called to Pei Kai, "Let's go, let Xixi see your recent progress."
Pei Kai nervously replied, "Okay."
"Relax, I'm just here for a stroll." Shi Xi smiled and encouraged, "Just take pictures as usual."
The two players quickly got into the game once they arrived on the field.
Shi Xi sat to the side, casually drinking her milk tea.
She knew Wen Yao had joined a period drama crew, but she never expected it to be "The Romantic Tale of Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon".
She actually acted alongside Pei Kai.
From this perspective, Pei Kai is quite lucky.
Wen Yao has powerful backers; even if this drama is just a web series, it will probably still be broadcast on television.
And judging from the scene, a lot of money must have been invested.
This scene depicts the male and female leads meeting in a brothel.
Shi Xi remained silent.
Yes, how could a period drama be complete without brothels?
Just as everyone was entering the set to prepare for filming, the director discovered that the originally planned courtesan was gone.
"Where's the courtesan? Where's the actress playing the courtesan?" the director shouted through a megaphone.
No one answered.
After a while, the person in charge of casting came out and said, "The courtesan said she wasn't feeling well and went home first."
director:……
Others: ...
The director laughed in exasperation, "Why didn't she say she wasn't feeling well earlier? Why did she make so many of us wait for her?"
"Let's find someone else. After all, the courtesan is just a one-off performance," someone nearby suggested.
Director: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The field fell silent.
The director looked around, searching for an actress who could play the role of the courtesan.
After all, she's playing a courtesan, so she should at least be pretty!
The director's gaze fell on Shi Xi. "Shi Xi?"
Shi Xi, who was eating a snow cake, looked up and asked, "Hmm?"
Upon learning that Shi Xi had come to visit the set, the director readily agreed, "Help her in a cameo role! A courtesan, not a big part!"
Shi Xi ate her snow cake, thinking that it was just one scene, and said, "Sure."
The director moved up the filming of the later scenes and asked Shi Xi to change clothes and get her hair and makeup done.
Shi Xi took some time to report this matter to Han Chuan.
Han Chuan had no objection and even asked if he could film a few more scenes, even without payment.
Looking at her clothes, which were as thin as cicada wings, Shi Xi thought to herself that she should just forget about it.
This clothing looks like it was disposable.
I'm really afraid it will get torn accidentally.
After Shi Xi changed her clothes, she heard a series of noises coming from outside.
"Director, I wasn't feeling well just now, but I'm fine now."
"Okay, go change your clothes."
"But what they gave me just now were costumes for extras."
"The role of the courtesan has already been given to someone else." The director thought of finding Shi Xi to fill the role and felt a surge of satisfaction.
"Huh?" The former courtesan was stunned. "I just took a nap. No, I also have a dance to learn. Will she have time to learn it?"
Director: "I'll have the dance teacher teach her again."
The director preferred to spend more time on Shi Xi rather than let the original courtesan return.
That's just how realistic the entertainment industry is.
Opportunities are fleeting.
The former courtesan retorted sarcastically, "Is the person the director found prettier than me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Xi came out of the dressing room.
The dress prepared for the courtesan was simple and elegant, with a yellow tube top adorned with silver patterns and a deep purple sash that accentuated her slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand.
The light purple outer garment was made of gauze, revealing her defined collarbones and subtly glimpsed fair shoulders. A long blue skirt draped down, embroidered with lotus leaves and flowers, swaying gracefully as the girl walked.
